That is certainly shiny and chrome

"In the end, generative AI might be a blip in tech history, over-promising and under-delivering until finally the cash runs out. But it seems it’s arrived just in time to shove universities over a cliff edge they’d already walked themselves up to."

Congrats to you both!

Someone tell Adolf to pipe down.

Thankyou Claire! Safe travels to you!

I live to give (rhetorical punches to the face)

And my point is that when we have plenty of evidence that something is wrong, being misguided isn't good enough. Basically, "being misguided" becomes a cop out for "I want to do what I want without challenge."

If they refuse to listen I'm under no obligation to be kind. To the contrary, I want to rhetorically poleaxe them.

Any effective checks on avoidance of learning. Academics imagine they can fix this alone. They're wrong. They've been wrong for 20 years, since contract cheating arose. Academics want easy answers which don't force them to change, and I won't be providing them.

Reliance on AI detection, despite its manifest failings, will fuel illiteracy. Will fuel a less educated society. Will fuel ignorance, because AI detection has already failed, for the reasons put forward in the paper. It fails at what it attempts to do. Which indicates rampant usage of AI without...

I don't accept that. They should understand in depth what they're doing, otherwise what they're doing is at risk of damaging society. Hard no. Educators routinely reject things they don't like, so why aren't they as critical on this issue?

Sadly it's behind a paywall :(
I'm just as concerned about literacy as anyone else, but it's clear that I disagree about the remedy.

Three cueing?

I would suggest that knowingan action (using AI detectors) will result in unjustified and indefensible harm to other people (students), and doing it anyway because one is "misguided" is not a defensible position.

Further adventures. No, I wasn't driving the car with Wally, I was waiting for my wife to come out of a shop.
